The shooting happened in the parking lot near an SUV and a car where several evidence markers were placed later.

The victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
Another person who was in the vehicle at the time of the shooting was not injured.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Kansas City Police Department Assault Squad at 816-234-5227 or the TIPS Hotline anonymously at 816-474-8477.
About a half hour after shots were fired outside Happy Foods, police responded to a second, unrelated shooting call near 21st and Summit streets.
Police said in that incident, the suspect and victim were arguing when the suspect pulled a gun out and shot the victim in the leg.
The victim’s injuries were not considered life-threatening.
The suspect was taken into custody in that case.
